:09:03
What do you mean?
:09:04
- I'm a curiosity.
- You're not kidding.

:09:06
No. I mean on account of I'm on a mission.
:09:09
My old lady expects
me personally to capture Adolf Hitler...

:09:12
and here I am in India.
Doesn't that make me a curiosity?

:09:15
You're just khaki-wacky.
:09:18
Attention!
:09:29
I'll make it short, men.
:09:31
Capt. Nelson will brief you
on the operation in a moment.

:09:34
I just want to say this:
:09:36
Two years ago, when
General Stilwell was run out of Burma...

:09:39
he said among other things,
that we took an awful pasting...

:09:42
and somebody ought to go back in there
and do something about it.

:09:46
We're going.
:09:48
You men will be
the first to go back into Burma.

:09:51
The action you're about to see
is the first step...

:09:53
of an extremely important operation.
:09:56
On the success of your mission,
depends to a large extent...

:09:59
the entire course of the war
in this theater.

:10:01
It's a big job.
:10:03
And I know you'll do it right.
:10:06
Good luck to you.
:10:07
And good hunting.
:10:10
Capt. Nelson.
:10:13
Let's get started.
You can smoke if you want to...

:10:15
and speak up if you can't hear me
in the back.

:10:18
Our mission is to demolish
a Jap radar station...

:10:20
and communications center
somewhere near point W...

:10:23
on operations map B.
:10:25
All we have to do is to go in,
find the radar station, blow it to pieces.

:10:28
Then get out of there
before the Japs know we're in.

:10:31
I guess you're wondering why
the Air Force doesn't go and bomb it.

:10:34
We know approximately
where the radar station is.

:10:36
Approximately isn't good enough.
:10:38
The Air Force needs to know exactly
where it is. They don't.

:10:41
The target's got to be destroyed.
Someone's got to do it.

:10:45
We're elected.
:10:46
All right. We're going in.
:10:48
All right. Gather around the sand table
and I'll show you where you're going.

:10:54
Don't shove, Hogan. Take it easy.
:10:56
Guy must think it's a free lunch counter.
:10:59
All right. We come in due east.
